E-commerce
July 1, 2026
"I saw -30% on your subway ad, but the website shows full price." "The in-store flyer doesn't provide a shop link." "The PRESSE24 code from the newspaper doesn't work." Three tickets where an offer seen in offline advertising blocks the online conversion.
The e-commerce offline ad offer support covers flyers, billboards, press, printed codes, missing QR codes, and print promise vs. checkout discrepancies. Distinct from podcast audio code (#957), paper catalog (#961), and bot identification (#960).
This guide #959 deploys the OFFAD-SUP policy, flow OA-1 to OA-8, and the OFFAD-MAP matrix. Pair support of the future offline offer bot (#960).
Summary
Why do offline offers generate e-commerce tickets?
Flyers in partner stores, 4x3 billboards, press inserts, and POS advertising extend an off-screen campaign while the checkout lives on Shopify. The customer photographs the flyer, searches for the printed code, or cannot find the store URL. When the print promise diverges from the site, the ticket ends up at online customer service. Without OFFAD-MAP, the agent honors an unauthorized discount or denies it without referencing the online_url, promo_code, or map.
Five typical offline offer frictions
Invalid print code: newspaper flyer coupon rejected at checkout
No online link: flyer without store URL or QR code
Different discount: -30% on billboard, full price on site
Expired campaign: billboard still visible but offer ended
Product reference: print SKU ≠ online PDP product
DTC Home Example
DTC Home, 2 print campaigns/quarter + local press, 10 offad_ tickets/month. After OFFAD-MAP: offad_resolution_rate 85%, ad hoc print gestures -49% in 6 weeks.
